When he said this, everyone in the village exclaimed in admiration. Village Chief nodded his head and smiled, "Deaf is remarkable. This is an elegant method of competition. Imbuing the god with a point of mutual understanding and seizing the creation of heaven and earth is nothing more than this. "
Qin Mu went forward and bowed to Deaf, following the etiquette of a disciple.
Deaf's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly dodged, "This is a competition between you and me, regardless of seniority. You and I are both students now, so we have the same seniority. After the competition, I'll be your teacher."
Qin Mu knew his behavior was slightly eccentric, so he immediately greeted him with the same seniority. Deaf also greeted him with the same seniority.
Both of them held onto a brush each and stood in front of the painting, looking at it.
Transforming magic power into divine arts to bring the dragon in the painting to life was already a rare and commendable achievement. However, if one's magic power and cultivation were insufficient, using artistic conception to bring the dragon to life and imbue it with a god's soul would involve the creation of heaven and earth.
In the past, Qin Mu had learned painting, calligraphy, reading, and writing from Deaf. Even though Deaf had imparted a lot of knowledge to him and he had also drawn quite a number of paintings, he still had a foundation in painting. However, it was still his first time to add a finishing touch and give life to a painting.
Imbuing the people and objects in the painting with a god's soul was something Deaf had taught him before, but Qin Mu had never succeeded in experimenting with it.
This round was much more difficult than the previous rounds.
Qin Mu focused his gaze on the dragon in the painting in front of him. This dragon was too similar, so much so that when his gaze landed on it, he actually felt that the dragon in the painting was slowly moving and changing its posture continuously.
Deaf's painting skills were indeed extraordinary. Before he even added the finishing touch, the dragon in the painting already had the feeling of breaking through the sky!
Qin Mu raised his brush, but he didn't start. The dragon in the painting was right in front of him, but how was he going to add the finishing touch?
He realized that no matter where the point of no argument was, it was hard to bring the dragon to life. No matter where the point of no argument was, it was always wrong.
Madam Si couldn't help it and suppressed her voice, "Mu'er, tear Deaf's painting and you win!"
Deaf rolled his eyes at her, "Evil and unorthodox methods. I've taught Mu'er to read the books of the sages. Mu'er's heart is filled with sages, so he won't do such evil actions."
Madam Si was furious.
Village Chief smiled, "Granny, don't interfere with Mu'er's battle with him. For this test, Deaf's test is very ingenious. "
Madam Si could only restrain herself.
In Qin Mu's eyes, there was only the dragon in the painting. The village no longer existed in his eyes. Only the painting was left floating in front of him. After a while, even the painting disappeared, leaving only the dragon in the painting.
The dragon swam in his eyes, sometimes up and sometimes down, sometimes left and sometimes right, sometimes crawling, sometimes soaring, sometimes coiling, and sometimes lying down. It raised its head, wagged its tail, moved like a dragon, played with water, breathed fire, and spat thunder. It was really clever.
Qin Mu felt like he had become a dragon in a painting. However, from his perspective, all he could see was darkness. He was still missing his eyes.
He tried his best to break free from the darkness, but he didn't know how to open his eyes.
He thought of the dragon pillars in Border Dragon City, the dragon bones and dragon soul in the Surging River Dragon Palace, the stone statues in the village, and the strokes carved by the gods.
The god statues carved by the gods were also a kind of painting. That kind of marvelous brushwork and profound charm seemed to have bestowed the statue with a soul, making the statue look like a god protecting the Great Ruins.
After some time, Qin Mu felt a ray of light gradually appearing in the darkness as if a dragon was slowly opening its eyes. When all the darkness in front of him dispersed, Qin Mu's eyes burst forth with a glimmer of spirit. He raised his brush to add the finishing touch to the dragon!
Bestowing the divine soul with a touch of spiritual affinity!
When his brush landed, the dragon in the painting instantly came to life on the paper. Shaking its head and wagging its tail, it suddenly flew out from the paper and into the sky, playing in the clouds. Meanwhile, the painting was only left with a piece of white paper without any ink stains!
Qin Mu was stunned. He had actually succeeded!
He had actually succeeded in bringing a dragon painting to life!
The dragon swam in the sky for a moment and soon turned into ink, dyeing the clouds black.
Qin Mu hurriedly looked at Deaf and saw that he had already washed his brush and hung it on the rack. He didn't add the finishing touch to the dragon in the painting.
Qin Mu instantly came to a realization, "Grandpa Deaf, you're going easy on me?"
Deaf shook his head, "I'm not going easy on you. When I was your age, I didn't have such deep attainments like you. This is my checkpoint, no matter if I win or lose. As a teacher, my job is to impart my path and clear my doubts. Now that I'm imparting my path to you, why should I care about winning or losing? "
Apothecary praised, "Deaf, this is the breadth of mind of a teacher, I admire you. Mu 'er, this checkpoint isn't a competition with you, but to let you refine medicine. Go to the herb garden outside the village and pick thirty kinds of poisonous herbs to refine a great tonic medicine. After you're done, consume it yourself. If you're able to recover, you'll pass. If you die from poison, you can continue to stay in the village. "
Qin Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could he stay in the village if he died from poison?
